Valentine's Day Thoughts

Do you remember decorating shoe boxes in elementary school? Then each student would bring cards and we'd go home with a box of Valentine's Day wishes?

Do you remember making cards with white and/or red dollies in the shape of hearts or circles? And trying to cut wonderful hearts out of red construction paper? These special ones always went to our grandparents and parents?

Do you remember making dozens of rolled cookies? Heart shaped, of course. And decorating them with red (really pink) and white frosting? And trying to write on them with a frosting filled cone? These would go to neighbors and friends.

Do you remember those little heart-shaped candies with words on them? And sorting through them in order to make a sentence and then put them on a little plate for a parent? Or a friend? Or a spouse?

And now, I look through dozens of cards, to find the perfect one for my husband of many+ years, in order to let him know how much I love him.

Welcome

I'm glad you found Karen's Genealogy Oasis blog. Come around the back and share a cool glass of freshly brewed iced tea or lemonade while we sit on the patio and listen to the fountains and watch the birds.

I'd love to share the information I have on family lines as well as research techniques and new discoveries. And let's talk about genealogy activities all over the United States but particularly in Arizona and other southwestern states.

Check out the My Surnames tab at the top of the blog to see which people I am researching. If any of these people look familiar, let's plan on getting together.

Please feel free to write to me. To send me a message write me at karenazgen [at] gmail [dot] com. I hope to hear from you.
